Financial Report From the Board

Mt Hope has published a year end financial for the past 5 years. Financials and reports do not come easy to me, but I have learned to appreciate them as a tool and guide in financial stewardship. Each year, the process teaches me something about stewardship and how God provides ordinary people at an ordinary camp their needs in extraordinary ways.

Women's Ministry Report

Me, Lord?
It all began with a date for a ladies Retreat at Mt Hope and no one to plan the program. Out of necessity, Jeff

asked me to “consider” putting the program together “just for this one”. I rounded up the only other two ladies I knew who could help me pull something together at the last minute; our energetic Food Service director Debbie Cummings and our new AMF area missionary Pam Beldon.
 
Wobbly Feet
With Wobbly feet we set out...not quite knowing what we were doing, but willing to offer our best so that women would be encouraged in the Lord at a women's specific conference; the first one in 7 years at the camp. In a way that only the Lord could orchestrate, our individual gifts and strengths worked together perfectly. Not only was the retreat a success, but something none of us anticipated happened. Debbie, Pam and I formed a bond, a vision that together we could bring Ladies of all walks of life together at Mt Hope.
 
Availability, not Ability
Through three ordinary women that never would have had the confidence or the dream to lead Women's ministries, the Lord is doing extraordinary things in the lives of women as we gather together at Mt Hope. We are proof that if you willingly offer what you have to the Lord, He is able to do exceedingly more than we can ever hope for or ask.
